In our paper, we investigate the explanatory power to the crypto currency return premium of market factor and size factor. We tested both the value-weighted and the equally weighted market factor and a big minus small Fama-French size factor. We found the market and size together can explain 33% of the premium. We also used UMAP to find a non-linear transformation of the crypto returns to create two factors, who can explain over 80% of the premium in both training and testing periods. However, further analysis and research needs to be carried out to decipher what these two factors represent.
